Today, I woke up fully convinced it was Saturday and that I could shut off my alarm and go back to sleep. Realizing that not only was it a work day, but that it was only Wednesday was a real punch in the gut. But thankfully, nothing soothes my existential aches like a little online shopping—especially when I find something I love at a discount. Obviously if you're reading this right now, you and I are a lot alike in that regard. So let me show you the deals I found that really stand out from the pack.

The Instant Pot is easily one of the most popular kitchen tools of the last few years, but this brand isn't the only contender when it comes to good electric pressure cookers. In fact, when we pitted the Instant Pot DUO Plus 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker ($130 on Amazon) against other options we found out that Crock-Pot's multi-cooker actually performed better in our tests. The best part is that it only costs $70 regularly. Right now, you can get if for just $59, the lowest price we've seen in nearly two months.

2. The best curling wand for creating any look at its lowest price

We've tested a lot of curling irons and curling wands to find the best options for styling your hair to perfection. The Sedu Icon curling iron was one of our absolute favorites, offering the most versatility of any model we tested. It comes with three attachments: 1¼-inch, 1-inch, and tapered 1-inch to 1¼-inch, features a one-hour auto shutoff, and has adjustable heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature wheel is easy to bump while you're styling your hair, but despite this flaw, the Sedu curling wand is a great pick for anyone who enjoys trying different styles, especially since it's now nearly half off the original $175 price.

3. The comfiest pillows you can get for under $30

Sick of your lumpy, dirty old pillows? Why not upgrade your bed? This set of gel fiber pillows came out on top when we tested a variety of bed pillows not only for their low cost, but the fact that they're firm but fluffy and don't require much squishing and shaping to get comfortable at night. These pillows originally sold for $39, but have been hovering around the $35 mark for the past few months. This new dip in price marks the steepest drop we've ever seen for a set of the best bed pillows we've tested.

4. The best way to get more reading done

We've tested every Kindle e-reader, and honestly they're all great. But the Paperwhite took home our award for the Best Overall e-reader. Why? It offers the best balance of features and affordability, and right now you can save an extra $20 on the price. I promise, even if you're a physical book devotee, you'll appreciate the convenience of having such a slim, easy-to-use library at your fingertips.

5. The best at-home blow-out that won't break the bank

The hair dryer you use can make a massive difference in how your hair turns out, so we tested all the top options to find the best. This Revlon dryer is out favorite affordable model, offering a blowout virtually indistinguishable from the results you'd get from a $200 dryer. It originally cost $27, but has been selling for around $18-$20 for the last few months. Today, however, it's down to just $15 (including the concentrator and diffuser attachments). So why not replace the hair dryer that gives you mediocre results?
